The head of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) abruptly resigned Tuesday, leaving a void atop a sprawling agency that oversees the federal workforce.
"OPM has received the resignation of OPM Director Dale Cabaniss and OPM Deputy Director Michael Rigas is Acting Director, Office of Personnel Management," an OPM spokesperson confirmed in a statement.
Cabaniss's departure was unexpected, according to sources familiar with the matter, and was believed to be related to internal conflicts.
She chafed at treatment by John McEntee, the 29-year-old head of the office, as well as Paul Dans, OPM’s White House liaison, Politico reported. McEntee rejoined the White House last month and has set about stocking the administration with officials loyal to President Trump and his agenda.
Politico reported that the White House's decision to hire a third college senior to a sensitive post also contributed to the tensions that preceded Cabaniss's resignation.
OPM is an independent agency tasked with overseeing millions of federal workers. The office handles human resources matters and oversees the civil service hiring processes.
Cabaniss has led OPM since September, when she was confirmed in a 54-38 vote. She replaced Jeff Pon, who was ousted by Trump last October after just seven months on the job amid a dispute over the office's powers.
Cabaniss previously served under former President George W. Bush as chairwoman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which oversees collective bargaining and disputes between agencies and workers, and has worked on civil service issues for two decades on the Senate Appropriations and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees.

Go Trump!
Johnny McEntee (house cleaner) doin his job...
There’s always a number 2 to take over.
Deep State Moron. Drain the swamp.
Well, bye.
Sounds like addition by subtraction.
She worked for George W Bush. That’s the tell
Remember when Freepers all loved Bush? Or at least pretended to in order to not get flamed?
There’s always a number 2 to take over.
= = =
During Stalin’s time, the subordinates were 3 or 4 deep.
Because their bosses were constantly being tried and sentenced to “10 Years.”
Maybe soon hiring will be on qualifications and not your SJW score.
This is what should have been done in every branch everywhere. There are far too many Deep State turds who are part of the "Resistance".
Anyone who mentioned they are part of that, in any forum whatsoever, should have received this type of treatment instantly.
Government employees don't get to set the agenda. The elected President and his administration do.
Don't like them apples? Get your own damn President with his or her own agenda elected!
Remember when we voted for a Mitt Romney?
I’ve tried to wipe that memory from my brain.
“She chafed at treatment by John McEntee, the 29-year-old head of the office”
McEntee is a first class guy. Looks like he took out the trash.
“ Remember when we voted for a Mitt Romney?“
What do you mean “we”? I didn’t
Sounds like a void was removed.
Yeah I remember that. Any mention of a candidate other than GW was tantamount to getting suspended. Now its okay to mention soime disagreements with him.
At the time Bush was the best & all we had. Do what you can with what you’ve got.
I would really enjoy a job whereby I get to p!$$ off the most senior heads of virtually all government agencies.
she’ll prolly go over to MSNBC....
